Too cold for November

5.00We were the only ones on the “tour”. It was less tour and more fly around the water as fast as you can. I was expecting more saunter and less sprint. It was a mid 60s day in November and when we moved slowly it was quite enjoyable but the way it was we were soaked and ice cold. One for the summer. Probably need to moderate the experience for different times of the year.
Informative and Fun

5.00My husband and I did the tour. We enjoyed the tour and were able to see dolphins too. I think the guides were Jaden and Jack and Jaden was very informative with the historical part of the tour. We would do this again when visiting Hilton Head. Be sure to bring a change of clothes as I did change pants and socks which got quite wet on the tour.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed the experience with Creek Cat tours! The tour guides Bucky and Jack were funny and made the instructions for operating the boat easy to understand. The views from the water were amazing and the historical information was interesting. You do get wet, so heed the tour info when they tell you that! Highly recommend!!

5.00Four of us went on the Creek Cat tour and we had a blast! Bucky and Alex were our guides, and Bucky did a great job of providing history and context for the areas we were seeing, and information about the natural environment. And we saw dolphins as well as many shore and water birds. They kept us feeling safe and well cared for the whole time. My one tip would be to make sure you wear water shoes and clothes you don't mind getting splashed. We would all highly recommend the Creek Cat tour.

5.00We had a really great time! It’s interesting to see the island from a different perspective. Our tour guides were terrific! They shared historical information about the island and the animals that live on land and in the water. They also purposely took us to a spot in the water where we could see dolphins. It was amazing to watch them swim less than 5’ from the Cat!!! I would highly recommend this tour!
